Digital skills
As digital touches so many parts of our lives, there are so many aspects to think about. This section tries to simplify this for teachers by making clear the most fundamental digital skills that are required for many daily tasks in life, learning and work.
These should be considered a starting point and as learners meet these outcomes, then teachers should plan more creative, critical and purposeful applications of those digital skills and knowledge.
The Learner Digital Skills Toolkit is designed to support teachers plan digital literacy learning. It is a clear and concise guide to the knowledge and skills that learners need to be digitally competent to participate in learning and life.
